The advent of cyberspace has introduced a variety of new Internet Protocol communications including VoIP, e-mails, instant messages, blogs and social networking. These new means of communication have added complexity to surveillance because they may use open public networks that are less definable, accessible and traceable for law enforcement officials than were the traditional hard-wired telco switching technologies. Blogging and social networking added yet another layer of complexity due to their use of complex Web site http protocols. Pervasive IP communications – such as Blackberries – provide users with IP communications access wherever they travel and therefore create moving targets.
Additionally, each communication record itself has become more complex, with only 30 percent of the volume of some IP communications pertaining to the actual content and associated attributes, while the remaining 70 percent may consist of redundant packet level data, duplicate header information and Internet housekeeping protocols like Domain Name System (DNS).
Wiretapping is mostly used in which situations? and in which countries it can be seen more?

ReplyDeleteI think countries with high level of technology are very concern about this problem. It means for countries like USA that people face with many kind of networks in their daily life with different devices, security of their information that is transfered are so important.On the other hand, because of importance of these kind of information in developed countries, tapping is more likely to be done.
